Introduction to the Spatial Concepts used in Geography.
Location, Scale, Distance, Distribution, Region, Spatial change over time, Movement, Spatial association and Spatial interaction Students will use maps to apply these concepts.
The different types of landscapes and their distinctive landforms.
Tectonic Plates - What forces shape our landscape and create landforms.
Homework set. Pearson Text Read unit 1.1 The changing face of the earth and complete activities.
Coastal landscapes Tsunami -Formation and effects of tsunamis. Case studies Boxing Day 2004 Japan 2011 The damage caused in Sumatra was catastrophic, but what would happen if a tsunami hit Melbourne? Would you be #ooded out or would you be safe? The website
[[http://!ood."retree.net/?ll=-27.8390,138.1640&z=13&m=7]] allows you to change sea level on a map to see the effects.
Go to this website and locate Melbourne. Change the flood level and investigate how much of the city would flood if a tsunami flowed into the city. Which suburbs would be affected if the tsunami was 3m high? At what level would the Bellarine Peninsula (near the entrance to Port Phillip Bay), become an island? Why is it unlikely that a tsunami would affect Melbourne?
What makes a place liveable?
Facilities and Services.
Living in remote communities: Indigenous communities, Mining towns.
Research task: comparing features of moist liveable and least liveable cities.
Introduction Lesson 1- Natural Resources: Renewable, Non Renewable and Continuous Natural Resources.
Lesson 2 - The Water/Hydrological Cycle The forms of water. Water cycle terms and process.
Task Evaluate the 3 attached water cycle images.
Which image presents the most accurate, detailed information?
How trustworthy is the information presented in each image?
Don't forget to look carefully at who has produced the image. What might this tell us about the credibility and purpose of the image?
Now your turn to produce a carefully annotated water cycle. Using your glossary of terms and computer software such as SmartArt, construct a diagram of the main processes in the water cycle. On your illustration, label the main processes involved in the water cycle. Use colour coding to identify those processes that involve changes of form (ie gas to solid) and physical location of water.
